May 28, 1999

Before EMILIO M. GARZA, DeMOSS and BENAVIDES, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Quincy J. Cook appeals his conviction for being a felon in

possession of a firearm. Cook argues only that the evidence was

insufficient to prove that the firearm, which had not been

recovered, had traveled in interstate commerce.

We have reviewed the record and the briefs of the parties

and hold that the evidence was sufficient for a reasonable jury

to find that the firearm had traveled in interstate commerce.
